<p class='note'>
This component is intended for developers.
</p>

The configurator component allows components to request information from the user. It is currently implemented as the minimum viable product:

- It supports showing a text, image and button to the user
- Input fields can be defined with a description, and optional type
- It will trigger a callback when the button is pressed

The Hue component in [the demo](/demo) and Plex are implemented using the configurator. See [the source of the demo component](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/master/homeassistant/components/demo.py#L132) for a simple example.

See [the source](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/master/homeassistant/components/configurator.py#L39) for more details on how to use the configurator component.
